Flow Actions - Completing the New or Save As form

A flow action rule has two key parts. To mark the new rule as JSR 168 compliant, select a template rule to copy.

Field	Description
Type	Select `Flow Action` from the `User Interface` category.
Applies To	Select the name of a class, typically a class derived from the Work- base class. When work objects in your application contain an embedded page or pages that can be any one of multiple Data- classes, choosing a Data- class for the Applies To key part of a flow action rule can be beneficial. See Pega Developer Network articled PRKB-21030 How to create flows that operate on embedded pages of a work object. The classes you can enter here may depend on the RuleSet you select. On the Restrictions tab of the Class form, a class rule may limit rules applying to that class to belong to one of an explicit list of RuleSets.
Action Name	Enter a name for this rule. Begin the name with a letter and follow the rules for an identifier. See How to enter identifiers.
Template	Optional. Select `PortletAction` to create a flow action rule that uses portlet-compliant HTML and can be displayed in a portlet window on a portal server through Service Portlet rules.

For general information about the New form, see Completing the new rule dialog box. For general information on the Save As form, see How to enter rule keys using Save As.

When searching for flow action rules, the system:

Filters candidate rules based on a requestor's RuleSet list of RuleSets and versions
Searches through ancestor classes in the class hierarchy for candidates when no matching rule is found in the starting class

Time-qualified and circumstance-qualified rule resolution features are not available for flow action rules.
